The Miiverse platform is continually being updated by Nintendo, with the recent addition of line breaks not necessarily blowing minds, but doing its part to improve the service. We've seen posts support more characters, improvements to the profile layout and options, and more besides.

Yet another update has just been confirmed, this time allowing more customisation to Miiverse profiles. Whereas previously you could only pin a handwritten post as a 'favourite' on your profile, you can now do the same with a screenshot; likewise if you have selected some communities as favourites you can display them on your profile, too.

Below are the details from that lovable Nintendo of Europe Miiverse rogue, Marty — the updated features should be the same in all regions.

1) On all versions of Miiverse, you can now set a screenshot as your favourite post. Previously you could only set a handwritten post, but now you can set a screenshot too! Open one of your own posts that has a screenshot attached, select the settings button (the spanner icon), choose the "Set Screenshot as Favourite Post" option, and add the screenshot to your profile screen from there. You can remove a favourite post by going to Profile Settings (in the same way that you add and remove handwritten posts).

You can set any screenshot you want from a game, such as a high score or the moment you pulled off an amazing move, so this should provide more flexibility for you to decorate your profile in style!

2) On the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions of Miiverse, you can now display your favourite communities on your profile. Previously, your favourite communites were only visible to you, but now you can share them with others if you wish. If you choose to share them, your favourite communities will appear on your profile as icons. Go to User Page => Profile Settings and choose whether your favourite communities should be public, visible to friends only, or private under the new menu option "Who should be able to see your favourite communities?"

Note:

-If you're already using Miiverse, this option will be set by default to "Keep Private".
-User communities will not be displayed on your profile.

Are you happy with these changes, and what further tweaks do you still want to see on Miiverse? Let us know.

Welsh ex-pat Tom is responsible for the day-to-day running of the site. He's the guy to thank for the generally brilliant nature of the content which massages your eyeballs on a daily basis. Also has an unhealthy obsession with all things Bowser.

@ricklongo@Kaze_Memaryu I believe Prof_Clayton was more so referring to the fact that most people on miiverse are childish. Such as when people try to start "wars" and what not. It was more or less a joke.

I've got to say I wasn't really excited at the beginning for this Miiverse thingy, mostly because I used to have just a 3DS. Now I think it's an awesome place where I can spend a nice time, if Nintendo just added chat...

@Prof_Clayton The problem is that age does not automatically result in maturity. My experiences using Xbox Live multiplayer taught me that, and it was the adults behaving like 13-year old kids on the schoolyard that made me mostly play without a headset or offline.

@salxicha It's like how you do it on the 3DS. Make sure you're on a game that supports screenshots like Mario Kart 8, then press the home menu once you find the thing you want to screenshot. Go to Miiverse and then its community, when you post; there should be some kind of rectangle at the top right and then you pick if the screenshot is from the tv or gamepad screen.

Great update, I'm already taking advantage of it with my Tomodachi Life personality as my favorite screenshot post and my favorite boards. Would be interesting having an update that allows you to show off the games you play/own.
